Thanks, the blade is in fair to ok condition, will do some more research now I have a few keywords to search for. Thank you to all of you that have helped me, much appreciated.

Sorry Stephen, nothing on the other side.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you John.

Hello all, looking to find out more about the "arsenal" stamp, had a look online but came up empty. Also looking to have the tang translated. Thanks for your help. Regards, Graeme S.

Sword has seen better days and has been cleaned/polished, can still make out the hamon in places.

Thank you very much.

Hello all, new member here and believe me I've tried but obviously this is a skill obtained over a long time so i'm reaching out for help translating this tang on a type 98 i'm looking at to buy. Thanks in advance for any help and I'll keep on trying in the meantime and see how much i get right but at the moment I've translated 0%.
